Poster: A snowHead
|
Not for me I hasten to add as I've got my nice new girly furry liner shiny Lockwoods specials
But have got a complete beginner coming with on 25th Feb (yes, I know it's ages away but I'll forget to ask if I don't do it now) with size 9 VERY wide feet - he often has to go up to a 10.5 just to get the width fitting - Anyone got any suggestions for makes/models of boots to point him in the direction of that are likely to be easy to find in the hire shops this season or do I just not get involved and leave it to the hire shop guys?

I think some of Head's boots are geared towards mid to large volume fits.... Try going at a quiet time when hiring, so the hire people have more time to talk your friend - and they can go get the boots swapped if they don't fit properly.

Annie, Funny thing was my friend with strange feet had very few problems with hire boots and then loads of trouble trying to get his own fitted. Perhaps it was because hire boots were well broken in, or he tried a couple of pairs on and got lucky!

Some Nordica boots are quite wide - get my bunions in, no trouble....
